Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson gambled more than $54 million on Tuesday's elections. And he lost.
The quixotic chairman of the Las Vegas Sands gaming company rose to the top of campaign giving in 2012, gaining notoriety for almost single-handedly staking the campaign of Republican primary contender Newt Gingrich and then continuing to make audacious contributions once Gingrich dropped out – with millions more going to GOP nominee Mitt Romney and two superPACs supporting his bid.

ABC News previously reported that Adelson's company has been the subject of a criminal investigation for the last year by the Department of Justice and the Securities Exchange Commission for alleged bribery of foreign officials, according to corporate documents. A separate civil lawsuit filed by a former Sands executive has further alleged that Adelson ordered him to keep quiet about the casinos' purported "involvement with Chinese organized crime groups." Adelson has publicly dismissed the allegations as frivolous.

If Adelson's goal in donating so much to the 2012 campaigns was to open a channel of access to high-level federal officials (he has denied he is seeking access), experts said he is now safe in assuming that effort has failed.

There is absolutley no doubt in my mind, that Adelson would be looking for some favors for all of that support

1. What a nasty little stub troll of a man...........

$54 million - seems like there would be more. I wonder if he slid some money to superPACS?

Now, the absolutely correct thing to do would be to continue that investigation like one's hair was on fire and crush the bastard.

Oh yea - get rid of Citizens United while we're at it!

2. One wonders......

...if he's been clued in yet? Meaning, he has NO sense of politics and what it takes to make a winner!
